We recently got two of the Lucinda Guy children’s pattern books: Handknits for Kids and Kids Learn to Knit. Lucinda’s patterns are colorful, fun and unique.

The Handknits for Kids pattern features this adorable dog, which came to visit us over the weekend, in honor of the Dog Days of Summer event. This little guy was made with Stonehedge Fiber Shepherd’s Wool. My little nephew is in town visiting, and he just might need the little dinosaur sweater from the same book. The Kids Learn to Knit book is a magically illustrated instructional book for children that will have them knitting in no time.  In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised if a few adults wouldn’t find it a bit helpful as well!
